Final Fantasy VII Rebirth director confirms an upcoming update for graphics in Performance Mode
Square Enix plans to continue polishing Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, with improvements to the graphics in Performance Mode coming soon
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is being a huge success with critics and the public alike. The long-awaited second part of the remake trilogy of one of the most popular installments of the franchise has met the high expectations that were in it, but despite this, there are details that could be improved, such as the graphic aspect at certain moments of the game when playing in performance mode. This has not gone unnoticed by those responsible for the game, and Naoki Hamaguchi, one of the directors of the title, has talked about how they are working on a graphical update to improve the look of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth under performance mode.
The performance mode allows you to play at a stable 60 FPS, but to do so it sacrifices some graphic details, although some of these have been reasons for criticism and the Final Fantasy VII Rebirth team thinks they can improve it, as Naoki Hamaguchi mentioned to One More Game: “We’ve received a lot of feedback on whether the graphics in the performance mode will be improved or not. We hear you, and we are currently working on an update patch to improve that aspect. I don’t think the release date would be far away from now.”
“We have heard from players that in certain situations, the facial lighting makes some character shadows look very scary. So that’s one part of the update that we are working on.”
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth stands out among the best remakes in history
The Square Enix title is exceeding the enormous expectations placed on it. The remake has not yet ended, but its second installment is at the level of other outstanding remakes such as the first two Resident Evil titles. In our review, we stated that Final Fantasy VII Rebirth “is a fantastic experience that continues what Remake started, even if a bit flawed. In the pursuit of a bigger experience, some of the focus that made the first great is lost, but we hope it works as a lesson for whatever we may see in the last part of this trilogy.”
